Yes it worked phenomenally. I would seek a therapist who specializes in DBT

dbt?

My therapist suggested a DBT group. I don’t know much beyond what I read online.

Tried it three times. Once in a clinical trial, once a teaching university and once as a standard therapy modality. Every single time it failed and given what I saw of the DBT therapists at all levels, I am strongly against DBT. DBT can be fine for day to day issues or management of self harm behavior. I have yet to see or read about DBT working/kicking in different mindset during a real crisis. All of a sudden the world was/is full of borderline diagnosised people and DBT is the answer. Perhsps doing away with a diagnosis of borderline and really working with an individual's true challenges and not summing up everything into this one alienating diagnosis would enable these patients to be seen as human beings instead of a diagnosis. DBT has played a large role in this never ending cycle which does not help a patient wholisticslly and make truly long-lasting positive changes to their lives.

My therapist just told me I'm depressed..do you ever feel like they tell you things you hear a lot or could have figured out on your own? Like take care of yourself, it's ok to feel such and such, etc. I'm still newer to therapy so wondering if that's the common experience? Do you ever have moments where you're like wow that actually is eye opening and I wouldn't have gotten that from reading self help books and websites etc?

One review mentioned it’s a “homeless shelter to autistic” so I didn’t know if it was code for something.

Also, any reviews on Vinz fishies can share? I dknt always Google reviews.
